| Can a Pioneer SC-25 reciever be used as a pwr amp Looking at a picture of the back panel, it does not appear that there are main amp inputs so the answer is not really. | |
| The future of preamps Keith- I hope you were not offended. I know how foolish I once felt when I tried to explain to a client how difficult and expensive it would be to build a certain type solution to a coastal erosion problem he was facing, only to find out later tha... | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Budget? | |
| To Tube or not to Tube...... Tubes keep those Russian birds flyingHmmm, maybe that's what bankrupted the Soviet Union...trying to find matched quads of NOS 6CCC3Bs ;-) | |
| The future of preamps Keith- Meet Al, our resident technical analyst and voice of reason on all things electrical/quantitative. He's not a manufacturer or designer. He's kind of like our Spock but with a love of music ,a keen dispassionate "eye" for techno-babble, and ... | |
| Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan I should have been charging people who had to deal with my secretary in my behalf (because I didn't want to be bothered)!Unless your secretary is a volunteer (or you are a very poor businessman), I have to assume your secretary's salary, benefits,... | |

Getting 'em DOWN w a handtruck w/o a crash was a bitch, not sure what I'll do when I want to fire em up again. | |
| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? Maybe it's just me, but if I had three very expensive amps from the same company require expensive repair as a consequence of an unavoidable and unpredictable aging process (output tube failures, like light bulb failures, are inevitable), I'd thin... | |
| Quad ESL 57 system upgrade help requested Dkarmeli also gives some good advice, which I must admit I thought about while writing the post above. It's an equally valid approach. Part of the decision process for you, I would think, is whether you consider the journey as part of the process.... | |
| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? There are lots of great reliable tube amps out there. In the past 10 or so years I've had Berning, Atma=sphere, Lectron, RAM, Joule and VAC. I've never had a catastrophic failure. One time, one of the big Russian MIG tubes "ran away" on my Joule w... | |
| Decisions, decisions.... I'm not an vinyl expert but unless you enjoy tinkering w your 'tables, I'd second/third the idea of getting one table, but I think you might focus on one that can handle 2 or 3 arms or get an arm w interchangeable headshells or arm wands. | |
